1-first you need to export users' Online Archives either manually or by using below command.

New-MailboxExportRequest –Mailbox IT -IsArchive -FilePath filesharePSTITarchive.pst

2-next step is to disable online archive.

3-Import the exported PST file into the mailbox

New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox IT -FilePath filesharePSTITarchive.pst

If you want to import the content of the PST file into e.g. a specific folder within the mailbox, use this command instead:

New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox IT -FilePath filesharePSTITarchive.pst -TargetRootFolder "RecoveredFiles"

you can also use azure AZ Copy to upload pst file to storage account and then map it to the mailbox.

The new-mailboxexportrequest cmdlet isn't available in Exchange Online, only Exchange on-premises. You'll have to export the contents of the archive manually or use e-Discovery.
